Upcoming Trainings
|
|
Dr.
Garber provides continuing
education training to educators,
mental health, legal, and family
law professionals around the
world. Format (in-person, live
video feed, and/or
video-recorded), duration
(two-day, one-day, keynote, or
brief), and topic vary by
audience need, timing, and
resources.
Dr. Garber uses PowerPoint(TM)
uniquely to capture complex
concepts as easily understood
visual metaphors. His
presentations are entertaining,
engaging, challenging, and
practical. Across topics and
settings and modalities, Dr.
Garber's goal is to improve
participants' here-and-now,
hands-on ability to better
understand and serve the needs
of children.
|
Participants
in upcoming trainings are encouraged
to access
conference-specific
materials in advance of
the conference date. These
materials will remain
available through the
conference date for
on-site access and
following the conference
date depending on the
host's preferences.

Is
your group planning a
continuing education training?
|
Dr. Garber will
be glad to discuss possible
formats, topics,
and how best to engage and
educate your targeted audience.
Costs will include
travel, room,and board when
appropriate to format . Dr.
Garber's stipend will depend on
your group's resources, how much
time will be required in
preparation, and how much time
will be necessary away from the
office.
When Dr. Garber travels to conduct
trainings, its often
cost-efficient to schedule an
advanced small group consultation
prior to and/or following the
large group event.
Examples of past
training events include:
Advance
Orientation (AO)
improves efficacy, efficiency,
ecological validity,
and consumer satisfaction
When
consumers of a service
participate in an advance
orientation to that service,
they are more satisfied and
the service is more
efficient and effective.
This program introduces
ADVANCE ORIENTATION to
family law and the extensive
research that demonstrates
the value of DEFUSEdivorce.com
programming.

Resist/Refuse
Dynamics
and the Polarized Child
Dr. Garber
introduces an evaluative
rubric that helps to minimize
bias, avoid premature closure,
and assure that the full
spectrum of dynamics and
practical pressures are
examined. The "Five Factor
Model" is critiqued as biased
and circular.
|
 |
Sampling
Relationship Dynamics:
Considering the goals and
methods of
behavioral observations in CCEs
Evaluators are
expected to rely upon diverse
methods.
This full day training
examines how best to
realistically sample family
relationships,
emphasizing a process-oriented
protocol. |
 |
Dynamics,
not Diagnoses:
Focusing the family law lens on
relationship "fit"
Mental health
professionals working in
family law routinely drag the
baggage inherited from the
medical model into the fray.
Family law is about
relationship dynamics, not
individual diagnoses. Of
particular interest is the
argument against the use of
individual adult psychometrics
in family law matters.
|
 |
Structure
diminishes Anxiety:
Assessing and imposing roles,
limits, boundaries,
and routines in conflicted
family systems
Understanding
the structures that define
each family, the structures
that define your practice, and
the structures inherent in the
judicial system is critical to
our success as family law
professionals.
|
 |
Resilience-informed
Family Law:
Building Parenting Plans on
Systemic Strengths
Child Custody
Evaluations (CCEs) and
litigation focused on
weakness, failures, and
pathology rewards the least
detrimental parent and leaves
the family system in shreds.
Focusing the process on
strengths and resilience
genuinely works in the best
interests of each child. |
